I use 93 in all my bikes, and Recreational 90 (Rec90) ethanol-free in the boat. The F-150, generator, other "small engines" and emergency stored fuel all get 87 E10), with Sta-Bil added if it's going to sit any length of time. I did put 87 E15 in the F-150 (Flex Fuel approved!) once when I was traveling, without any issues, but I wouldn't feed it a steady diet.

Any of you gas experts have any opinions/comments regarding "Tier 1" gasolines? According to some, some of the gas makers subscribe to "Tier 1" protocol and put certain additives in their gasoline formulas--additives for the valves, etc. I usually buy Shell gas and they are a Tier 1 gas producer. It is my understanding the big gas discounters do not subscribe to Tier 1 protocol and they are able to sell gas a wee bit cheaper. Two big discount gas operations in my area are Thorntons and Speedway. I previously emailed both of them and asked if their gas was Tier 1. I got a reply from Speedway saying their gas contained everything necessary and they did not intend to meet Tier 1 criteria. Never got a reply from Thorntons.
You can google Tier 1 for info and also find out which oil companies subscribe to Tier 1 standards and which ones don't.
